Characters missing from account
« on: July 26, 2010, 06:46:17 pm »
So, I haven't logged in for a bit less than a year, and while my account still works, my characters are all gone from the RP server; I still have my character for the non-rp server.  So is this a fluke, or was there a wipe that I missed, or something else?

Wasn't it mentioned somewhere that there was a server switch for the RP Server? I'm sure that all of the characters were lost due to the switch.

I'm Kurora on the IC server. Don't get upset about her attitude, that's just how she is. I'm not really like that X3

the db was move straight from the old server to the new one, so it's not related to the move

Is it the characters or accounts that are missing?

Sounds like the login works, but the account is empty.

There have been two "very old accounts" wipes so far. Whole accounts who did not log in during the last 3 years. But only 1 year would not be "too old"; and characters only did not get wiped from accounts, leaving them present.

check is done on char login not account login so an active player could get an unused alt deleted too

And problem solved.  I'd forgotten my account was tied to an e-mail address I no longer used.  Thank you weltall, and sarva, for helping me figure this out, as well as making sure it won't happen again.
